"Someone requested me through Uber and they knew who I was already," said Panchoo, who's been with Uber since November. "Like, 'You're that guy who does the lights and everything, you're Super Uber!' I'm like, how you know that?"

Panchoo's turf is the Meatpacking District, a haven for nightlife lovers. Like a party animal, Panchoo is up all night until the sun comes up and typically works Monday through Saturday.

"Since people love to party, it matches their mood," Panchoo said. "If they're going to a party or if they're coming from a party, they get excited."
